The voices of Stephen Root (NewsRadio, King of the Hill), Maurice LaMarche (The Real Ghostbusters, Pinky and the Brain) and John Melendez (The Tonight Show, Howard Stern's "Stuttering John") return for the third season of the CGI animated series Tripping the Rift. And it may be no surprise to long-time fans that a new voice actress takes over the role of "Six of One"; a different actress has played the part in each season.

The 2000 "pilot" had both Patricia Beckmann and Terry Farrell (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) lay down tracks. The first regular season in 2004 saw Gina Gershon (Bound, Showgirls) voice the part. The second season in 2005 had Carmen Electra (Baywatch, Scary Movie 4) take over. Now, in the third and latest season of the series, the role has gone to Jenny McCarthy (Singled Out, Scream 3).

A pre-order listing at Amazon shows that Tripping the Rift - The Complete 3rd Season will arrive on DVD from Anchor Bay on January 6th. The two-disc set will go for $29.98 SRP, and it includes all 13 episodes. Extras, if any, are not listed there yet. Nor is there any cover art displayed so far, either. But stay tuned and we'll update you with further details, as more information comes in!
